What the crumb is the Heat Index?!?

Archived MySpace blog

Whatever it is... it's 115.

115?!? I'm assuming that's degrees Fahrenheit.

A little research tells me the Heat Index similar to a Wind Chill Factor, except it relates to humidity instead of wind.

So... its 100 degrees here... not precisely typical for New England in the first week of August. Global warming anyone? And the Heat Index is 115... or as your friendly weatherman (Weatherperson? Blackuweather Meteorologist for all you Family Guy fans) would tell you, it "feels like 115".

Translation, 100 degrees, with a dew point of 75 degrees, makes it humid enough that those 100 degrees are as oppressive as 115 degrees of nice Arizona dry heat.

Or... to put it really simply...

It's hot, sticky, and gross here!
